Heart with Haiti
Working through set of emotions in the face of disaster
Here on the water there’s a stillness, a perfect peace of the ocean and its elements. It’s uncanny, actually, just how still it is: no wind, no waves, just a placid body as if it were a small pond. The sun shines brightly here, almost too brightly…the heat—especially for us winter birds—is both a blessing and a curse…but certainly beats the frigidness of winter nights. Sunsets here are pure majesty, as the radiance of that bright sun dips below the clouds.
It is hard to believe that miles away from this tranquil setting is a world in chaos, where millions of people are struggling to survive in the wake of a 7.0-magnitude earthquake; without much hope, many have turned to looting, violence against women and children at aid distribution sites, and setting up camps outside of the prime minister’s office where they beg for biscuits and water-purification tablets. This place is Haiti, primarily in the capital city of Port-au-Prince, where a nation without much at all has seen everything that it did have turn to rubble.
Walking with God
Living for God - sharing His love throughout the earth.
Take a glimpse of life a humble servant of Him, trying to balance the stresses of life with its abundant pleasures. The words found here are the thoughts as the Lord shares them with Mr. Cole and takes this author on the journey of life, through all of its twists and turns.
Aulonacara's Musings
"It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." (Gal 2:20)
This is the Blog of Auratus ("Pen Name" on the Internet; sometimes "Chippoka" or "Aulonacara"). In this Blog you will find various writings as poems, songs, allegories, and bible study documents. Auratus is in his late 40s, and became known of Jesus Christ in 1980 at a Josh McDowell crusade in Pocatello, Idaho. He has had his "ups-and-downs" and... he desperately prays that you will learn from his mistakes for your journey with Jesus Christ; and that you will be encouraged about his witness about how Jesus will be faithful to you no matter how bad you blow it time and time again. If there is a common theme in the documents shared in this Blog, it is this: God is faithful to weak and foul sinners which the Son purchased on the Cross of Redemption.
